Healthy Recipe Roundup

April 9, 2018 by overtimecook 2 Comments

The Ultimate Healthy Recipe Roundup to help with your weight loss and health resolutions! Is there a time of the year, more than these post-pesach days, when people are more focused on eating healthy and paying more attention to their diets? No, I don't think so either. Aside from any over-indulgences we may have enjoyed over the holiday, I think there's also a "fresh start" aspect. Before passover, we clean all the food out of our kitchens. Over the holiday, we buy our pesach food. Then when pesach is over and real life starts again, we need to restock. And now, the choice is ours. Do we stuff our pantries with crackers and cookies and all kinds of junk? Or do we load our shelves up … [Read more...]

Yeah. Watching football? Not my thing. Eating delicious food? I'm sure you guys know I can get behind that! So, here's the dish … [Read more...]

Homemade Barbecue Popcorn

June 10, 2015 by overtimecook 4 Comments

Homemade Barbecue Popcorn takes just minutes to make and tastes so much better than the commercially bought stuff!  If we're friends in real life, or even if you've ever spent any time with me, there's a very good chance you're already aware of this. For the rest of you, here's something important to know about me: I have a serious popcorn addiction. I know, I know. It's not the worst kind of addiction. It could be drugs or alcohol, or even candy bars. So...I don't really work too hard to deal with my popcorn cravings...I just keep feeding it. Lately, I've become (by mistake) a popcorn snob. Microwave popcorn? Nope. Packaged stuff? No way. I'll buy the store bought stuff, but only when … [Read more...]

Cookies and Cream Muddy Buddies

November 10, 2014 by overtimecook 19 Comments

A classic cereal treat gets a favorite flavor makeover in these Cookies and Cream Muddy Buddies! Muddy buddies will always remind me of my dorm. It sometimes feels like a previous life, but this classic cereal treat brings me back to those days. Teenagers in some little apartment, constantly noshing on junk food. With basically no kitchen equipment except for a microwave and toaster oven, we got all creative. Firstly, the school would pay for our breakfast, so we ordered lots of Chex every week. They probably thought we were big cereal eaters....I guess we were, but not in the way they intended! Next, we learned quickly all of the creative ways we could use the microwave and toaster ovens … [Read more...]

Pesto Roasted Carrot Fries

June 23, 2014 by overtimecook 4 Comments

Pesto Roasted Carrot Fries are bright, fresh and summery. Bonus: they have only two ingredients - and they're both healthy! I kinda owe you guys an apology. I've been holding out on you. If you follow me on instagram, you might have seen these awesome carrot fries over Passover. (If you don't follow me on instagram, get on that: @OvertimeCook). I made them as a simple side dish for one of the passover meals, and they were a smashing success. Even my I-hate-cooked-carrots family members were sneaking seconds of them. At first, I was hesitant to share such a simple recipe. Then I was all, "hello? Simple = good!" So then I decided to share these on the blog with you. But life got in … [Read more...]

Roasted Red Pepper Dip

January 20, 2014 by overtimecook 44 Comments

Roasted Red Pepper Dip is easy to make, is healthy and the perfect party dip! Raise your hand if you love dips. Shabbat challah and dips go together like...peanut butter and jelly? My personal favorite has always been hummus. I like the dips full of mayo too, like creamy basil dip or creamy eggplant dip. But then I went on my diet, and couldn't quite indulge in endless amounts of hummus or mayo based dips. (Who should, really? So calorie dense!) So I started making my mom's old classic - roasted red pepper dip! Here's the thing though. I grew up enjoying it, not as a healthy dip, but just as one that my siblings and I enjoyed. It wasn't until I was an adult on a diet that I realized … [Read more...]

Sweet and Spicy Maple Roasted Pecans

December 16, 2013 by overtimecook 8 Comments

These Sweet and Spicy Maple Roasted Pecans have just the right blend of flavors to keep you coming back for more! Can we talk about addictive foods? Some foods, like chocolate, are always high up there on my "I need that" list. Ice cream is on that list too. Cookies also. But when you think of foods that make it really hard for you to stop after one or two, what do you think of? Many of us think of chips. Potato chips, corn chips...mmm. Definitely don't like to stop after just one of those! But for me, the most addictive - and I mean don't-stop-till-they-are-gone addictive food is nuts. And more specifically, pecans. And even more specifically, these sweet and spicy maple roasted … [Read more...]

Crispy Baked Onion Rings

July 14, 2013 by overtimecook 22 Comments

Crispy Baked Onion Rings are healthier than they look. Intrigued? Read on! Remember how last week I was craving onion rings? You might have read about it on facebook, and then later on when I mentioned it in my post. Well those who know me will not be surprised to learn that once I get an idea in my head, it doesn't leave very easily. And so onion rings were right on the top of my mind for a couple of days now. And finally I made them. But let me backtrack for a minute. I recently photographed baked onion rings for a photography job I did. (You didn't know that I do freelance photography? Now you do!) And really, that's when the cravings started. Those were baked, but still, not … [Read more...]
